This version is the first reference implementation fully compatible with GraphQL — April 2016. In addition to any relevant breaking changes from the spec, it also has made some breaking changes to its API.

This also brings graphql-go on par with graphql-js v0.5.0.

Special thanks to all that have contributed to this release.

Breaking:

• Rounding off support for context. It is now available for resolving types in IsTypeOfFn and ResolveTypeFn, similar to FieldResolveFn. (graphql-go/graphql@1e33c35)
• Directives in schema language: Breaking change to NewDirective() API. (graphql-go/graphql@2322d25)
• Directive location introspection: This deprecates onField, onFragment, and onOperation in favor of locations which is a list of __DirectiveLocation. (graphql-go/graphql@58f2928)
• Types can now be explicitly provided to NewSchema(SchemaConfig{Types: [...] }). Types which implement an interface but are otherwise not referenced as a field return type are no longer automatically added to the Schema. Use SchemaConfig{Type: [..]} to ensure they are included to the Schema. (graphql-go/graphql@79f48da)

New:

• Spec compliance: Overlapping fields must have compatible response shapes. (graphql-go/graphql@a241e1c)
• More support for the experimental schema IDL. (graphql-go/graphql@e23ac77)

Fixes:

• Spec compliance: @Skip and @include are now commutative. (graphql-go/graphql@95bc032)
• Spec compliance: Allow graphql.Float to be represented by float64. (#133, #130)
• Fixed invalid lexer tests for parsing TokenString. (#138)

Enhancements:

• Improve lexer performance by using byte array as source. (#137)
• Improved coverage for lexer package. (#138)
• Additional tests for covering unicode text support. (#138, #135)
